His father before him was a seaman, and fought throughout the Revolutionary War. At the age of 14 Oliver entered the U. S. Navy as a midshipman. He went through the Tripolitan War, which grad- uated so many brilliant naval officers. During the early part of the war of 1812 he was in charge of a flotilla of gunboats at Newport. Desiring to see more active service, he requested that he be at- tached to the naval force on the lakes; accordingly in March, 1813, he arrived at the Port of Erie, there to find a fleet of ten vessels being prepared to take action against the British fleet under Com- modore Bartley, an old and experienced naval officer and hero of the days of Nelson. Perry was then 28 years of age. With an inadequate force, and many of his men inexperienced. Perry set to work to complete, rig and arm the vessels under his command. This was no small undertaking as everything had to be transported for hundreds of miles overland, over the worst of roads, with many annoyances and delays. However, the young commander surmounted all difficulties and found himself, on the morning of Sept. 10, with his fleet anchored in the waters of Put-in-Bay. The fleet consisted of the Lawrence, 20 guns, the Niagara, 20 guns, the schooners, Caledonia, 3 guns, and Ariel, 4 guns, together with six smaller vessels carrying from one to two guns each. In all Perry's fleet mounted 55 guns, and the British fleet 63 guns. Perry's flagship, the Lawrence, entered the engagement ahead of the fleet, and received the entire force of the attack of the British. His ship PAINTINGS was soon disabled and rendered useless for further action, and the greater part of the crew either killed or wounded. Captain Elliott, the second in command, failed to bring up the Niagara to the support of Perry, and the smaller vessels of the fleet had not come within firing distance. With his ship shot from under him. Perry took his flag and started in a small boat for the Niagara, the British ships tiring broadsides at him at pistol- shot distance, as he passed by them in succession. Although the water boiled about him. he reached the Niagara in safety, and taking her and the rest of the fleet quickly into action, turned the tide, gloriously winning the victory which swiftly terminated British supremacy in this region, and won the plaudits and gratitude of the whole Ameri- can people. 1._0L1VER HAZARD PERRY.

Commodore Perry produced the burgee or fighting flag hitherto con- cealed in the ship. It was inscribed with large white letters on a blue ground that could be read through- out the fleet, 'DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP' the last words of the inspiring Lawrence and now to be hoisted at the masthead of the flagship bearing his name. A spirited appeal was made to the crew assembled on the quarter-deck who returned three hearty cheers that were repeated along the whole line of our vessels and up went the Hag to the top of the fore-royal. When Perry was rowed from his sink- ing flagship to the Niagara, making his way through the hail of broadsides of the British vessels, he Hung this Hag over his arm and under it on the Niagara he entered again into the battle and in short order vanquished the British Fleet." The Hag was lent by the U. S. Navy Department from the historical collection at the Naval Academy, Annapolis. 61.— THE COAT WORN BY OLIVER HAZARD PERRY during the Battle of Lake Erie, September 10, 181 o.
